Welcome Alexei, I too have visited Russia. Moscow, Leningrad in 1972. I was there for about 10 days. Visited the Hermitage Museum, saw Swan Lake ballet. I have many memories of that trip. One I will never forget ... While traveling on the train from Moscow to Leningrad, some of the members of my group were playing music (guitar, bongo) to pass the time. An old Russian man asked if they could play "Hello Dolly" one of the songs made famous by Louis Armstrong. They did and this old man gave his impression of Louis Armstrong singing Hello Dolly ... with a Russian accent. Quite a combination and something I will never forget.
